Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 785 The Crying Cinema

At this moment, netizens actively liked and commented on Zhou Yang's Weibo post.

Zhou Yang saw a comment and wondered, what exactly is worth filming?

Many people in China always admire foreign countries, believing that everything abroad is better, while they do everything they can to belittle things that are native to China.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with liking foreign things, but there's really no need to praise foreign things while smearing domestic ones.

The next morning, Zhou Yang arrived at the studio.

The footage for editing had been sent to the studio's email address in advance. After reviewing it, Guazi nodded repeatedly, indicating that the footage was relatively easy to process this time.

After sharing his thoughts, Zhou Yang began working.

While working, he heard the sobbing of the professionals around him.

"Wow, Hachiko is so pitiful!"

"I actually cried while editing the video, this is the first time!"

"The boss's performance was outstanding! I was completely immersed in the role!"

"I was so immersed in the role!"

"It's so pitiful! I want to stop watching, but I can't help but keep watching!"

"Especially that look in his eyes! Even without the background music, it breaks my heart!"

"..."

Zhou Yang never expected that the battle-hardened professional team would be moved to tears by a clip that hadn't even been fully edited.

This further proves the powerful emotional impact of his films.

……

A week later, the promotional poster for "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" attracted public attention.

The poster features Zhou Yang with his wife and daughter, holding a small dog, while a large dog is depicted above the movie title.

This poster alone has generated a huge response.

"Oh, 'Hachi: A Dog'? That sounds really good!"

"Wow, it's rare to see Zhou Yang like this! He exudes an aura of maturity and experience!"

"I'm so envious of the girl in the poster, she actually got to play Zhou Yang's wife!"

"Is this Yang Ge's new movie? Xiao Ba is in it too! Looking forward to it!"

"I hope it will be released soon. Zhou Yang's movies are always amazing!!"

"..."

Recently, with the release of a poster, many movie fans have begun to look forward to the release of "8 Dogs".

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang led the film crew to the United States to launch a global promotional campaign.

After the flight arrived, Zhou Yang chose a major theater in the United States as the main venue for his promotional activities.

To attract attention, Zhou Yang specially invited many big-name American stars and well-known film critics to the event.

The grand theater's exhibition hall was very spacious and had already attracted a large number of media reporters and movie fans, with dozens of security guards working hard to maintain order.

"How exciting! This is Chen Tiesheng's first work in ten years!"

"Yes! The story of Hachiko, the loyal dog..."

"Is this adapted from a folk tale? It sounds so relatable!"

"I have high hopes for this! After all, it's directed by Zhou Yang!"

"Would the collaboration between Chen Tiesheng and Zhou Yang be considered a powerful alliance?"

"..."

Soon after, several well-known American celebrities walked to the front row and took their seats.

The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air. Stars such as Viggo Mortensen, Jude Law, Jean Reno, Colin Farrell, and Ethan Hawke sat in the front row.

And that's not all; the number of American celebrities in attendance was far greater than that.

This demonstrates Zhou Yang's considerable influence.

Many big-name celebrities even gave up other activities to come and support Zhou Yang's movie promotion and press conference.

Chen Tiesheng stared at Zhou Yang in shock, hardly believing the scene before him; Zhou Yang's social circle was truly astonishing.

Anyone who has interacted with Hollywood stars knows that these stars are usually very arrogant and unwilling to work with Chinese stars.

Zhou Yang sat on the stage, holding the microphone, and said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. Today is just a movie promotion press conference! After watching the trailer, you can ask questions if you have any. You can leave after the event!"

Zhou Yang's words sparked heated discussion among the reporters present.

This is not just a movie promotion and press conference, but a grand international stage!

The American celebrities in the front row applauded enthusiastically at the event.

Once the creative team was in place, the lights quickly dimmed, and the movie trailer began playing on the screen.

The trailer opens with the scene of Hachi being discovered, and then the scenes change continuously, showing this dramatic story.

Xiao Ba faced the threat of being abandoned, but was eventually taken home by Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang's wife gradually accepted this new family member, and their daughter's happiness followed.

However, at that moment, Zhou Yang, who appeared in the trailer, fainted on stage.

At the end of the trailer, Hachiko is covered in grime but still waits at the train station every day.

Seeing this scene, many reporters and celebrities couldn't help but shed tears.

……

The seven-minute trailer moved them to tears.

When the trailer ended, the entire theater erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Wow, that was fantastic! Director Zhou's movies will definitely not disappoint us!"

"So touching! The full movie must be even more amazing, it really brought tears to my eyes!"

"The relationship between Zhou Yang and Xiao Ba is so touching! I definitely have to go to the cinema to see it!"

"Friend, can I borrow some tissues? I think I got sand in my eye..."

"I've used it all up too, and my eyes are full of sand."

"..."

Seeing the reporters' tears, Zhou Yang smiled inwardly, knowing the film was sure to be a success!
Ten minutes later, the Q&A session began.

The reporters and celebrities present gradually recovered from their earlier emotional state.

A reporter from the American Daily News stood up and asked, "Director Zhou, everyone knows Director Chen Tiesheng, but why did you give up your plan to direct a film for millions and choose to collaborate with a middle-aged director?"

Other journalists nodded in agreement, all eager to know the answer.

Before Zhou Yang could respond, Chen Tiesheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you've all misunderstood! Zhou Yang has never given up on his million-dollar director plan. It's entirely because I'm so passionate about making movies that I submitted the article!"

Zhou Yang smiled and explained, "Everyone has a chance. The 10 million director program isn't just for young people. Please don't fall into that kind of prejudice!"

The reporters present were surprised, thinking the plan was only suitable for young people.

In fact, Zhou Yang has never rejected the involvement of middle-aged directors.

Then, a media person walked up to Zhou Yang and asked, "Why did you choose a stray dog ​​as the subject of your film?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Tiesheng appeared somewhat angry, as the words were clearly derogatory.

Zhou Yang simply smiled and replied, "It is indeed a native dog. The Chinese Rural Dog is a native breed of China. Is there any more suitable choice?"

Zhou Yang's question stunned the media person, who realized that if the mongrel was a native breed, then what about the other dogs?
